Lol I feel sorry for the other woman who had to tell her.

You've reminded me-a friend of mine is in charge of a team in an office. He was once asked to tell a chap that he stank of BO and the other staff were finding it offensive. My friend being a nicey nicey sort of chap, didn't want to come right out with it so he befriended this character, having breaks with him, taking lunches with him, taking extra time for a chat etc. And then one day breaking the news. The guy was mortified and told my friend how grateful he was to be told and how sorry he was.

The following day said chap came to work as usual and my friend said you could smell the cologne at the other end of the corridor, he'd had a shave, had a bag full of sprays and an air freshener for his desk, obviously proper anxious about this problem he hadn't known he had.

In time, the same member of staff who had told my friend to have words, came back complaining that the guy still stank, and asking him if he'd actually had words with him. He was asked to repeat the name.....

Yep, he'd got the wrong guy. The next day a lot of grovelling was done as my friend had to tell the chap 'I got it wrong dude, you don't smell!'...

I've got that familiar scent stuck up my nose now
Kya has never done that, thankfully, although she does like to find putrid puddles to sit in-that's not pleasant either!
